Divorced fathers advice on dating

Keep the relationship between the two of you, and when marriage becomes a consideration, have him introduce you to the kids.

Think of it from a child’s perspective: Dad has a new girlfriend for a few months and then she goes away.

Neuman recalls, "This 13-year-old kid once said to me, 'I feel, now that my parents are separated, that Idon't exist.'"While most children don't articulate their feelings so strongly -- in fact, most shrug or say "okay"if asked how they're coping with a parental split -- therapists who work with children of divorce agreethat divorce makes kids question who they are, where they came from, and where their lives are headed.

That's not an argument for or against divorce, for or against dating.

Either make it easy for them and tell them you appreciate environments that leave you fearing for your health, or invite them to your place for a snuggle and a movie.
